Blinking of eyes excessively.

Hi mommies, anyone of your toddler blinking/squinting their eyes excessively? Been for 4 days and still the same. Went to see a dr today but dr say his eyesight all ok and write a referral letter for him to visit kkh for a thorough check up. He seldom have screen time now. Please advise. Thank you.

Good that you already got the referral, just go for the KKH appointment, don't wait. My neighbour brought her son there for something similar and the paediatric ophthalmologist was thorough, checked for everything from early myopia to allergies to muscle issues, so you'll get a much clearer picture than a GP can give. Some mums I know found it was just allergies causing the squinting, but a couple had kids who turned out to need glasses earlier than expected, so it's really worth ruling everything out properly. Definitely follow through with the specialist rather than leaving it, four days of persistent blinking is worth a proper eye check.
